I have, what you need to do is create a new animation, and then import the
animated gif. It should import into flash with the same number of frames
as the original gif (ie. if you open it up with Ulead's Gif animator or
some other product)
It has been my experience though, unless there is something really cool
about the gif that can't be emulated in flash, then forget the trouble as
they are huge once inside flash. And they really add a lot of kilobytes
onto the finished SWF.
